✦ Synopsis
Human receptors for IgG (Fc,yR) play important roles in the immune response. Expression of the human FcTRH gene may be relevant in immune complex related disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome. We have used spot blot analysis of dual laser-sorted human chromosomes to localize the Fc3,RII gene to human chromosome 1. Spot blot analysis of sorted derivative chromosomes sublocalized the gene to the chromosome 1 long arm (lq12-+q25.1). This subchromosomal localization involved reassigning a reciprocal chromosome translocation breakpoint. We als0 identified Xmn I and Taq I Fc,yRII polymorphic restriction sites that arose before the races diverged. These common Xmn I and Taq I polymorphisms are predicted to be informative for segregation analysis with human diseases in 85 % of all matings.

The human NK-2 receptor gene has been mapped to chromosome 10 using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify specifically the human NK-2 receptor sequence in hamster/human hybrid DNA and also in mouse/human monochromosome hybrids. The assignment to chromosome 10 was confirmed by in situ hybridisatio
FcyRI is an interferon inducible high-affinity receptor for IgG which is important in antibody dependent killing, the binding of immune complexes and internalization of antibody-coated particles (Unkless et al. 1988;Ravetch and Kinet 1991). Biochemical characterization of FcyRI indicates that it is
Ribophorin I and II (RPN I and RPN II), two specific glycoproteins, span the rough regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and are thought to play an important role either in translocation or in the maintenance of RER. Studies with human-mouse somatic cell hybrids have localized the gene for RPN
